Gwangju City Council Members Appeal for 'Water Conservation' Amid Drinking Water Source Depletion Crisis

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Members of the Gwangju Metropolitan Council appealed to citizens to practice water conservation on the 16th in response to the crisis of depletion of Gwangju's water sources due to drought.

All council members stated, "With precipitation being severely insufficient, Dongbok Dam is at risk of depletion by March next year," and added, "If water usage does not decrease, restricted water supply will be inevitable next spring, and in the worst-case scenario, there could even be a water outage. Therefore, it is necessary for all citizens to minimize water use in their daily lives."

They continued, "If citizens save 20% of water, supply can be maintained until early June, when the rainy season begins next year," emphasizing, "If we respond with mature civic awareness, enduring the current inconveniences with one heart, we can surely overcome this crisis."

Additionally, they said, "Water is nothing less than life," and earnestly appealed for the active practice of water conservation by all citizens.
